No limits to IT Efficiency

‍

The Challenge

‍

 Like most companies, the MoD is constantly under pressure to improve the efficiency of their internal IT processes and reduce costs. This gave them the opportunity to look for alternative test automation solutions in the market.

‍

As the Ministry of Defense team is mostly composed of business users, they needed a solution that was easy to use, had a fast learning curve, and allowed them to automate their end-to-end SAP processes. One of the important requirements when selecting the new tool, was easy maintenance and the ability to use it without deep technical knowledge.

Looking For The Most User-Friendly Solution

‍

The MoD identified Copado as the best fit for their needs and started the implementation in 2018. According to the Ministry’s users, they went with Copado due to its ease of use, ability to add advanced logic to their scripts (with the option of custom code), and clear execution logs. Rather than the previous way of working, where they managed tests in one tool but executed in another, everything in Copado was in one single application.

The Solution

‍

The Ministry was able to increase its testing coverage to more than 30 complex end-to-end scenarios that are now fully automated and executed regularly reducing the risk of failure in production.

‍

Due to having a comprehensive and reliable automated regression set the Ministry of Defense was able to move from a release every 3 months to a release every 2 weeks. The next target is weekly release cycles. During the course of their last technical release, the Ministry of Defense saved over 1500 hours by leveraging the Copado automation platform.
